A labour of love by @NAEconTeam & @orfonline - Presenting our complete gendered analysis of time⏱️use data in India!
Regardless of employment status, education qualification, or geography, women do over 8X the unpaid care👩🏻🍼work as men - far higher than global average of 3X.
Heartbroken at the loss of one of the warmest and most inspiring people we’ve had the privilege of knowing and working with @BMGFIndia. Rest in Power, Usha.
We will hold you in our hearts and memories Usha Kiran, you made the world a better place. @mangalpandeybjp @gatesfoundation

Child care is essential infrastructure that’s vital to economies. And yet it's rarely accessible or affordable, & the responsibility falls on women. Get to know these families from around the world, whose stories exemplify why addressing women's unpaid work is so urgent. #IWD2021

India has a poor record of women's participation in the workforce. Is the pandemic making matters worse?

Our piece in EPW on how gender responsive fiscal expansion can be designed and why women cannot be ignored. We may lose more women permanently from the labourforce! This needs major policy attention @IWWAGEIFMR @LEADatKrea @SubhalakshmiN @saachibhalla @YaminiYaminina #COVID19

Universalising PDS for the next six months if not more is the way forward! Cash transfers have their own problems - good if successful but should b 'in addition' to other efforts and not the 'only' effort! @IWWAGEIFMR @PolicyFeminist @SubhalakshmiN @sinhadipa @saachibhalla

Not only from the point of view of family budgets and farm incomes as @Roshanjnu argues, but there's need for serious thought on making vegs accessible & affordable, thru PDS & other means, all year for all given poor diets in the country + burden of micronutrient malnutrition
Unseasonal rains destroying onion crop is the biggest reason for inflation. With climate change freak weather events will only increase. The govt shd consider widening the PDS to include vegetables & protect both family budgets & farm incomes. I argue
